Warm and welcoming. Although breakfast was continental there was plenty choice, with Man checking if there was anything else we required.

Staff were very welcoming and friendly with great advice on the area.

At the edge of Scotland, the gateway to the Orkneys or a sea tour. No facilities to speak of and the nearest Tesco is a 20 minute drive, so come prepared or just pass through here. The drive up is a hazard in terms of road maintenance. .

The rooms were not cleaned and the toilet was actually full of crap so we had to call them and they cleaned it right away. The staff seemed to be overwhelmed, and the bathroom was extremely small so for one night it was not bad but can't stay for a few more days. The rooms were very cramped and when you enter the door could only be opened partially as it hit the bed. The configuration of bed placement was poor. That said, the location of this hotel was excellent and the staff were very pleasant to deal with.

Stunning sea views which could be enjoyed from inside the property or out on the deck. Excellent facilities and well maintained property, cleaned to a high standard. Hosts were friendly and very accommodating. We were left alone to enjoy our break but had support on site when needed. Superb onsite staff. Our heating had stopped working but this was resolved quickly and didn't intrude on our short break.
There were some lovely onsite gift shops. There was also a cafe which we didn't have time to visit. There is also a small post office a short walk away with a few essentials available if needed. We prepared our own food and found the kitchen facilities and equipment in the kitchen to be fantastic.
I would have preferred less outdoor lighting at night to reduce light pollution for viewing the beautiful night sky.

We went for the walking and took the John O'Groats trail. As we went on Boxing day it was all closed, but there are a few shops there worth a look.
You can drive all the way and there is parking at £3 per day.

We enjoyed a boat trip whilst at John O'Groats even though we didn't see any dolphins or whales. The local brewery with attached bar was a great place to spend an afternoon.
We enjoyed a nice evening meal at the Seaview Hotel just two minutes drive from our accommodation.
There were a few tourist gift shops where you can stock up on all your gifts for friends and family.
There is also the famous signpost where everybody has their photographs taken.
If your planning to stay at John O Groats this is the most amazing place to stay. Gail and Dave make you feel at home as soon as you step inside the door. To be honest I can not find the words to say how fabulous this place is. The rooms are outstanding immaculately clean there is a longe you can sit and chill out with views like no other.
We are defo going back Gail and Dave thank you so much for your fabulous hospitality our stay with you will never be forgotten.
It was a perfect location for visiting John O Groats. We went during our NC500 trip and was such an easy stop. Not much around, but the restaurant in the hotel is good. There is a great petting farm next to the hotel, and plenty of sheep running in the fields around! The bed was comfortable, and the staff was very helpful and kind. Would recommend!
Puffin Cottage was a clean, cosy base to explore this corner of Caithness and get the passenger ferry to the Orkneys.The owner was welcoming and explained how Puffin Cottage operated on this working farm. Our room was very neat and clean. The local hotel with a restaurant was next door and the ferry was a short walk away.
Beautiful location, Seaview, very spacious modern Lodge. Washing machine, 2 bathrooms and 3 big bedrooms. Coffee tea milk were provided at arrival which was nice touch. Next to the john o groats tourist site so there are shops and activities which are nice for a few days stay. Lovely toiletries provided. Would stay again
Location was excellent. The house and neighbouring mill are beautiful with incredible view and both kids and dog loved the easy walk around the seaside to John O Groats. Lots to see in the area. Kitchen very well equipped. Loved that by staying at the cottage we were helping history and the renovation of the old mill.
The Hotel is as presented. It's designed as a one night stayover in an isolated location. Fit for purpose. Food is passable, but you can't fairly expect gourmet. They are very organised at breakfast so you don't risk missing the Orkney Ferry. You pre-order the night before & your table awaits at breakfast.
Amazing location, a small walk away from John o groats / 2 minute drive away. The property had very secure parking and the owner was nice and friendly. The cottage itself has history which is interesting, and for the price you can’t go wrong
Breakfast was provide. Dinner was very good. It was a great location. Free Parking and Free WiFi Room was a bit tight, but typical of European hotels. Very nice bathroom. Very clean. Bed was fairly comfortable.
Great location in John O Groats, easy to walk to the harbour. The room was very comfortable, and the bathroom was nice and clean. Loved visiting the animals, especially Betty and Mary! Breakfast was good too
my room was in a building across the road from the hotel, it was clean and comfortable.
The food was good, I had breakfast and an evening meal.
It was close to the harbour and the John O Groats signpost.
It was nicely isolated but only 5 minutes from John O Groats and ferry terminal, restaurant just down the road.
Made to feel very welcome, highly recommend.
